Anyone who has read the Old Testament and the Apocrypha as many times as I have knows that for Jews possession of the Land of Israel is as important as personal salvation is for Christians. In addition, the Koran gives the Children of Israel the land of Israel:
Surah V:20 And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Remember Allah’s favoour unto you, how he placed among you Prophets, and He made you kings, and gave you that (which) He gave not to any (other) creatures. O my people! Go into the holy land which Allah hath ordained for you. Turn not in flight, for surely ye turn back as losers.
Surah XVII:104 And we said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land, but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass, we shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations.
